  • Now that the Akuma gameplay trailer has been released, it's time to do our in-depth breakdown. We go through all the footage frame by frame, talking about everything we see and theorizing how powerful he will be. It turns out Akuma has a ton of new tools to explore in Street Fighter 6, and we can expect to see more updates very soon. Very exciting.

    Capcom : 3 minutes Akuma trailer

    I'm spooked of Akuma getting a Juri style st mk,
    if you hit it close he connects with the knee and can cancel it into specials, but from afar he extends his foot forward and it works as a poke.
    Also I wonder what the heck all of these Target Combos are about, I get a feeling they're emphasizing hit confirms with him which could be HUGE since he'll come out with the Season 2 patch, it could signify what direction they're going with the update

      @Spectre_EX1081 Před 4 měsíci +2

      I think you might be right actually. Replaying the video he does stick out his knee FIRST then the foot out for the poke. That's probably what they'll do

    14:34 An explanation on the fireballs. If you pay attention they show 3 versions. Normal is without charge. Then you can charge it a little bit by holding the button and it has 2 hits. We see in the sequence when he is on the right side how he blows a normal fireball from Ryu and hits him once, the charge happens once, it just goes red. The third time we see it against the denjin fireball he charges longer, there is a second charge when his hands are back and it pops off into the molten fireball. This one has 3 hits, so naturally ate the 2 hits from the Denjin and then hit once more on Ryu.

    There are some speculations about Akuma having a “perfect” fireball, releasing the button at a specific timming, similar to Luke and Rashid, this will be the red fireball.
    The normal fireball is 14f at startup and the fully charged is 34f, the red one will be the middle ground. The OD version maybe ignores that.

    The thing is Ryu is that he struggled with Satsui no Hado for however many years, goes through all this strife and turmoil but comes out the other end with no development or gameplay changes. Why even bother having him take a higher path “power of nothing” opposite of Satsui no Hado just to not use any of it in the sequel. The most gameplay development he has had is hop kick from Kage (f+HK), Ryu had cooler gameplay options in SF5.
